Modulation Grid II is the collaboration between A-Sun Amissa, the instrumental collective founded and led by Richard Knox, and TONUS, the ensemble project formed by Dirk Serries, focusing on the improvised relationship between sound and silence. It will be out out on January 15th, 2021 via Midira Records. According to the press release, it is a documentation and continuation of a live set, which took place at the Moving Noises Festival 2019 at Christuskirche Bochum. TONUS started the festival with a very intimate and quiet set simply based on accordion and concertina.
The concert side of the tape features the recording mixed and mastered by Dirk Serries also using the room recordings to deliver a facsimile listening experience, including the creaking of the pews when the audience slowly convened in the church room.
